Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
20 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.45 + x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.45' to each side of the equation.
-0.45 + x + 0.45 + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Reorder the terms:
-0.45 + 0.45 + x + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Combine like terms: -0.45 + 0.45 = 0.00
0.00 + x + x2 = 0 + 0.45
x + x2 = 0 + 0.45

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.45 = 0.45
x + x2 = 0.45

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + x2 = 0.45 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = 0.45 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.45 + 0.25 = 0.7
1.25 + x2 = 0.7

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 0.7

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.836660027

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 0.836660027 and -0.836660027.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 0.836660027 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 0.836660027 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 0.836660027 Solving 0.5 + x = 0.836660027 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 0.836660027 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.836660027 + -0.5 x = 0.836660027 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.836660027 + -0.5 = 0.336660027 x = 0.336660027 Simplifying x = 0.336660027

Subproblem 2
